A Mission Action Plan (MAP) is a prayerful process of looking, listening and reflection leading into planning and prioritising. As part of the process, we seek, with the Spirit’s guidance, to discern both a vision and a course of action.

The Parochial Church Council regularly reviews the MAP and our priorities for the forthcoming twelve months.

Our vision

  • To be a spiritual, prayerful and dynamic church
  • To be a welcoming, inclusive and accessible church
  • To be a joyful church serving the whole community.

Our goals

We have identified five key areas on which to focus:

  • External signage
  • Review welcome pack
  • Welcome training
  • Social media
  • St Mary’s School: building on our strong relationship
  • Children’s Church and Children’s Corner
  • Holiday clubs
  • Growing fuller partnerships with other schools
